Recently, on March 7th, Arianna Huffington sat down for an interview with Andrew Goldman, even though Bill Keller, the Executive Editor of the New York Times, attacked the Huffington Post in the magazine. This interview left many wondering why Huffington would agree to be interviewed.

It was recently revealed, though, that Huffington sat down with the New York Times Magazine, prior to Keller’s piece being published on March 10th. Huffington Post spokesman Mario Ruiz also revealed that there was a follow-up discussion after the Keller piece ran.
